I hold this opinion, just because of my own experience of not being able to scan qr code after several attempts, and reading reviews of other users on eyesfree list. Please read the following opions:
Allan WKF: 1. To scan the QR code, you must login to web.whatsapp.com with a chrome desktop browser. 2. You must run the latest version of WhatsApp or at lease version 2.11.498 and the latest version is version 2.11.505. 3. At this point of time, there's no easy way to point your phone exactly to the QR code display on the computer screen, You should ask a sighted help unfortunately. But however, if you wish to give it a try, the QR code is showing towards the left side of the computer screen, and you point your phone rear camera to it. If you success by any chance, your phone will give you 2 vibrate to alert you that you have successful. 4. It is not a nice toy for us (screen reader user) as of JAWS 16.0, the edit box which we type message, will come out of edit mode after we type a letter. We have to press spacebar to go back to the edit mode after input eatch letter in the edit box. It is not working at all in NVDA 2014.4 2. Hi, As I said before, so far there's no way to point to the correct position to the QR code show on the computer screen, unless you get a sighted friend help. Furthermore, even if you successfully get it pare, it is useless so far for a screen reader user. If we have to press space bar to enable text mode after inputting each letter, where is the convenience then?
